what are the best songs ever

[Matty Norwood]

Hi guys and girls

I love music as im sure most people out there do. But i thought it would interesting to see what everyone believes are the best songs ever written. With the broad range of age and tastes that we have on this forum could be interesting as to what people think.

Ill start it off with my 5 fave songs

1. black - pearl jam
2. everlong - foo fighters
3. november rain - guns n roses
4. wanted dead or alive - bon jovi
5. interstate love song - stone temple pilots
